Did you ever consider #Liège as destination for your next meeting? The Mercure Liège City Centre is a destination on its own. A former monastery located closed to the commercial and historal center, a very comfortable and inspiring meeting environment.

Last week, Sandra Olsen and I, along with the help of the Destination Cleveland Sales & Services team and our many partners, had the absolute pleasure of hosting 13 outstanding HelmsBriscoe meeting planners here in The Land. We crafted a truly unforgettable itinerary—featuring everything from fine dining and helicopter tours to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, our beautiful hotels and venues and a spectacular Billy Joel & Rod Stewart concert. Our goal was to showcase the very best Cleveland has to offer, and it was a true labor of love. One of my favorite aspects of this job is sharing the magic of this city and showing others why I’m so passionate about it. Cleveland continues to exceed expectations, and I never tire of surprising our guests with its hidden gems, and there was still so much more I wish we could have shown. The highlight of the week, however, was the genuine connections we built. After sorting through over 400 photos and videos we took, it’s clear we didn’t just host an event—we became a family. I can’t wait to collaborate again and see you all at future industry events! #TheLandforLife Summer Schreiner Rebecca Shaffer Gabriela Arisso Kate Pararo Joni Adams Melissa Pitzely Kindt Brady Barbara J Mancuso 👩🏻💼Zujeilly Robles Cindy Tilton Maurice Arbelaez, CHSP, CPCS Cheryl Schreiner,MBA,CMP,CMM,HMCC Sandra Olsen

Some members of our HBAZ Team had the opportunity to experience the warm hospitality and amenities of an iconic Tucson resort compliments of Deborah Weiss and her Team at the The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa. Every time I visit this hotel there is something new being unveiled. This time around it was a new lobby bar experience with a TV so big that I was green with envy. New F&B offerings and a Top Golf Suite rounded out some of the newest additions and showcased that the Westin continues to re-invest in their product. Thank you to Deborah for hosting our Team. It was a nice way to learn more about a great property in our backyard as well as for our HBAZ Associates to enjoy some time together joined by their families. If you are looking at Tucson as a possible location for a future event/meeting the Westin La Paloma should certainly be on your “must see” list! #WHYHB #HBAZ #WESTINLAPALOMA

On Monday the Cvent & HelmsBriscoe 'Winning the MICE Game' European roadshow rolled into London. We were joined for the day by eighty or so local hotel representatives along with some of our #London based associates to hear key insights into meetings and events bookings, how to maximise the use of the Cvent tools, and how best to interact with our HelmsBriscoe associates to gain market share. Both Shawn Pisani and Catherine Morris gave interesting and useful workshops going through our business model, the RFP process we follow and some key tips that help increase a hotels chance to win that contract. The Cvent team highlighted to us all that 57% of RFP's are awarded to properties that respond with an average time of 8 hours and 7 minutes (golden response times between 8-13 hours). An RFP has an average of 10 properties it has been sent to, and only 50% of those properties send an RFP response with a proposal (38% turndown, 12% don't reply!). 96% of HelmsBriscoe RFP's convert to a contract somewhere. So if you firstly respond and second do it in the golden response time you can work out the statistical chance of winning that business, and it's high. So the key takeaway: For those venues out there with a pile of RFP's everyday, we know you are all busy, be strategic with your responses. Look at the business that converts. With your responses, read and answer the RFP properly, answer all questions in full (hopefully the soon to be introduces AI in Cvent Supplier Network will help you with this), and when appropriate pick up the phone. In 2023 we booked $1.67 billion in room revenue (in 2024 we surpassed the $1 billion in August, our earliest time to do this), so there's lots of business to go around. Make sure you are in touch with your local HB associates, that they know who you are and how you and your property can help them. Reach out to them now so you know, when they send you an RFP how to help them. Alternatively, if you've had enough of property sales, or are looking for more autonomy, flexibility and a new challenge feel free to either get in touch and we can chat to see if a HelmsBriscoe associate position would be your perfect next step or take a look here and complete the form https://lnkd.in/eE6Bj2yP Big thanks to our hosts Accor and Sofitel London St James. #education #winningbusiness #smartsales #eventprofs #hotelsales #eventindustry #whyHB #IAMHB
